Scholarly Interests
My scholarship has focused generally on critical race psychology and more specifically, on the role that macro, socio-ecological, contextual forces play in: tokenization of Faculty of Color; faculty development and job satisfaction; the recognition and impact of microaggressions; the generation and maintenance of stereotypes; intergroup perception and relations; pedagogy for courses on social psychology and race.

Teaching
Courses Taught
• I developed two new Professional Development courses for graduate students that I taught for the first time in fall 2019.
• I taught Social Psychology for a group of 17 Study Abroad students in Maynooth, Ireland, in July 2019.
• Since Spring, 2016, I have taught Introduction to Social Psychology (3100), and Psychology 4040, a new course I developed on Psychology of Race in the U.S. (4040), both with excellent teaching evaluations, above the mean in the Department of Psychology. Since spring 2018, I have taught Psychology of Race in the U.S., 6200, at the graduate level. I serve on the advisory boards for Women’s Studies and LMAS. Teaching evaluations for all courses are excellent.
At former universities, I taught a variety of undergraduate and graduate courses for departments of Psychology, Comparative Ethnic Studies, Speech and Hearing Sciences, and Women’s Studies, and for programs in American Studies, Mexican American Studies, and African American Studies. My teaching evaluations have always been excellent.
